Fido XTRA gives back to our communities

Fido XTRA is known for giving customers access to deals and freebies from leading brands on food, drinks, apparel, entertainment, and more. From October 10 - 16, for the first time ever through Fido XTRA, customers had the chance to say which of three amazing causes they wanted Fido to support. By the end of the week, nearly 15,000 responses were submitted and $30,000 was shared proportionally to the participants’ choices. Customers who felt like giving back more had the chance to make their own donations as well.

Here’s a bit more about the three causes and the final donations from Fido:
